Abstract excerpt
Sequence variations and phylogenetic relationships of Strumigenys from different localities in Taiwan were inferred from sequences of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal RNA genes. The ITS2 sequences of different species of Strumigenys vary in length from 659 to 953 bp, because there are many large repeated insertion-deletion fragments, and these short tandem repeat units form...
